Li Chongjiu left the court class, and just wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard Li Yan say: "Prince, what books have you read recently?" ”

Li Chongjiu sighed, I don't know why, what book did you read? How old is he, he is already past the age when he was tested by his father, and when he was studying, Li Yan was still in exile in Zhenxi, so it was impossible to test him! What's wrong now, could it be that Li Yan wants to fulfill his responsibilities as a father and re-examine his son's homework?

He was not a person with impatience in the first place, but when Li Yan suddenly asked, he immediately stopped asking, and he forgot to defend Wu Youren!

At this time, the imperial guards had already called the imperial doctor to rescue Wu Youren, of course, they could not be rescued in the Golden Palace, but carried to the side hall, where Wu Youren was treated, so what Li Chongjiu wanted to say, Wu Youren couldn't hear it, otherwise he saw that Li Chongjiu was only asked what book he was reading, and he forgot about him, the former minister, then Wu Youren had to be fainted again.

Li Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Erchen is reading, reading, reading the Analects!" ”

The ministers are almost laughing out loud, how old are they, and they are still reading the Analects, could it be that these years have just passed?

Li Chongjiu didn't read much, thinking that he couldn't have a learned teacher to teach him to read, and he was precarious, what was the use of reading more books, and he didn't need to be admitted to the Jinshi, since no one taught, could it be expected that he should take the initiative to learn? He's not a hard worker!

Li Yan's brows furrowed again, he hadn't asked Li Chongjiu about his homework before, he thought that his son was so old, he should have read all the books he should have read, and he thought about it before he read "The Analects".

Li Yan said: "You are the prince, you don't need to be academic, and you don't need to participate in the imperial examination." But it's always good to read more, and since you've fallen behind in your schoolwork, you have to find a way to remedy it. Well, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, it seems that you still have to know more about the world, go and experience it! ”

When the ministers heard this, they all nodded, what the emperor said was very reasonable, even those of them who had read old books had to go to various places for training. Especially before becoming an official, understanding the shape of the world is a necessary link, so it is the right thing for the emperor to let the prince go out to practice.

However, the crown prince is the prince of the country, can he leave the capital casually?

None of the ministers squeaked, and it was not their turn to squeak for this kind of thing anyway. It's better to be silent and listen to what others have to say!

Yang Ze didn't squeak either, he knew how things would develop, and why was he squeaking. Just listen to the results.

Li Chongjiu is happy, go out to practice, is it possible that his father wants him to go out of Beijing, that's great. He originally wanted to go out of Beijing, but he didn't know where to go to practice, if it was Taiyuan. That would be great, perfect.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely forgot about the previous minister's book, and Wu Youren took refuge in him, which is really the wrong person.

Li Yan said: "Taiyuan is the place where I go to Longxing, it is very suitable for you to go there to practice, and since you want to go to experience, you have to do something." ”

Li Chongjiu was overjoyed, it seems that his father still loves him very much, and he actually agreed to his request, but why didn't he sue him directly yesterday, he had to wait until now to say it, which caused him to be anxious all night, and he didn't sleep well.

Li Yan said: "It has been more than one day since I ascended the throne, and the death of the first emperor is a major national event, but I suddenly feel that I am a brother of my Dafang Empire, but I have not come to mourn for a long time, I don't know what it is for, is it possible that they want to go south to invade me again?" ”

He is a question sentence, he is asking the opinions of the ministers below, but the meaning of the words, the ministers all understand, the emperor is dissatisfied with Tujue, this is looking for an excuse, and wants to question the Tujue Khanate.

Although none of the ministers in the court were newly promoted before, there is no one who does not understand the shape between countries.

In the past, the Tujue Khanate was respectful to Dafang, and the two countries were called brothers, that was because of the internal turmoil of Tujue and the endless wars on the grassland, and the Dafang Empire was under the rule of Empress Dugu, and the national strength increased, so the Tujue Khanate temporarily bowed to the Dafang Empire.

In fact, the peace between the Tujue Khanate and the Dafang Empire is always short-lived, attacking each other is the norm, after so many years of peace, and now the Dafang Empire has changed the emperor, then the Khan on the grassland will definitely find a way to send troops to test the attitude of the current emperor Li Yan, if it is easy to bully, of course it will be bullied, if it is very tough, then you might as well continue to call it a brother, this is inevitable.

A minister came out of the class and said to Li Yan: "Your Majesty, the wolf ambitions of the Turbid Khanate, they will definitely take advantage of the weakness of our dynasty to send troops to invade the south, I will prepare as soon as possible, if I can take the initiative to attack, give the Turber Khanate a little color, so that they can't act rashly, that is the best." ”

The minister who said this is relatively young, and he looks like he is in his forties, if this age is placed in the court of Empress Dugu, it is a young Zhuang faction, but it is placed in Li Yan's court, but it belongs to the elderly faction, after all, those old ministers who are older are about to be swept away.

The other ministers listened to his words, nodded their heads one after another, they all looked at it the same way, they had dealt with the government for too short a time, and they had not learned to be cunning and calculating, they all thought that since it was possible to fight Dafang, then why didn't Dafang cut it in advance, and then let the other party move, and then lead the war to the territory of Dafang, it was the people who suffered Dafang, if this battle could be fought in the territory of Tujue, and harm the herdsmen of Tujue, wouldn't it be better!

Li Yan looked at the ministers and was deeply satisfied, it seems that everyone is quite enterprising, knowing that once the war starts, they will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, as long as they have made meritorious contributions, then the official position will also sit firmly, at least in my dynasty.

But at this moment, a minister jumped out, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, no, the emperor has newly ascended to the throne, the hearts of the people in the world are undecided, the people have suffered for a long time, the people are not able to make a living, and life is already difficult. In the humble opinion of the minister. It's better to wait and see what happens, even if the two countries want to fight, we can't start the war first, but wait for the sudden awakening to ......."

The ministers looked at this together, and everyone thought in their hearts: "Is this person's brain broken, we don't go to the sudden awakening first, and we have to wait for the sudden awakening to hit the door, when did we become so generous?" ”

The Dafang Empire is not a cowardly dynasty, and has always paid attention to who is not pleasing to the eye, and who is unwilling to surrender. Unwilling to pay tribute to the Heavenly Dynasty, then Dafang will fight whom, before the peace of Tujue, that is because Dafang's strength has not reached the point of destroying Tujue, but after the recuperation of the Dugu Empress Dynasty, the national strength has improved, and now there is a war with Tujue, and it is Dafang who will win nine times out of ten, and the time is ripe. So why be polite to Hu Lu?

Yang Ze glanced at the kowtowing minister, and saw that it was a guy who looked like a squire, I don't know which squire it was, he was not very old. It is estimated that it is a stupid thing to read and read, and he actually said such bastard words, and if he wants to brush his reputation, he can't brush it with generous people!

Yang Ze said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if you don't feel suddenly." We also need to send troops to guard the borders, so that if there is any sudden movement, we can react immediately. In order to minimize the losses of the people. ”

He turned around and pointed at the minister, and said: "As this man said, it is not wrong to wait and see what happens, but he said that he had to wait for Sudden Jue to do it first, which is very wrong, is it possible that we have to wait for Sudden Jue's soldiers to attack our country first and harm our people before we can fight back?" This is too disrespectful of the lives of my generous people, this kind of person is really not worthy of being an official in the court! ”

The ministers also accused this squire one after another, when did my Dafang Empire become so cowardly, and it was necessary for others to do it first before they could fight back, but we were the Heavenly Empire, how could we suffer such a loss.

But this squire is still not convinced, full of nonsense, saying that he is a big country, and he still has to be polite to the Hu people, the Hu people don't understand the etiquette law, do we have to understand it, or people don't offend me, I don't offend people, this is the right way, this is the temperament of the heavenly kingdom, and the treatment of Hu people should be given priority to education.

Yang Ze secretly scolded in his heart, now is neither the Two Song Dynasty nor the end of the late Qing Dynasty, what kind of education is it said to foreign countries, it is just a good word, be careful that people use knives to cut you.

Yang Ze said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since he likes to educate the Hu people so much, it is better to let him go to the border and be the head of a post station, where there are the most Hu people, and there are many people who come and go, let him educate those merchants, if he can educate the Hu merchants well, then he will educate the Hu people's generals, since he proposed it, then let him stand for the merit of education." ”

Li Yan didn't want to waste time, and besides, he didn't like others to speak against him, after listening to Yang Ze's words, he waved his hand and said: "According to what Yang Aiqing said, let this person go to the border, find him a post station, and let him be a teacher in it, specializing in educating sudden people." ”

The squire was taken aback when he heard this, he just wanted to be a maverick, and when everyone else said yes, he said no, so as to increase the emperor's attention to him, but he didn't think about being demoted, or being demoted to a post station on the border, this is too dangerous, even if he can go, but what about his family, will he also suffer? If the two countries really fight, won't he become the first batch of unlucky people to be beheaded by the Hu people?

Excited for a moment, the waiter screamed and fainted. The imperial doctors hurriedly came over, dragged him away, dragged him to the side hall, put him together with Wu Youren, and rescued him together.

Li Yan waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to calm down. He said: "I have decided to let Taiwei Yang Ze leave Beijing with 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the border. ”

Yang Ze pursed his lips slightly, and thought to himself: "It's only 30,000, which is the size of the two Praetorian Guards, and then add some auxiliaries, it seems that the emperor wants to leave the army to Li Chongjiu!" He knelt down to receive the order.

Li Yan said again: "Where is the crown prince Li Chongjiu?" ”

Li Chongjiu is confused, how did he do it, he didn't send me out of Beijing, he sent Yang Ze to lead the troops to the expedition, so what should I do, are I going to Taiyuan? But Yang Ze's military power still hasn't been cut!

Li Chongjiu said: "Erchen is here!" ”

Li Yan said: "I have appointed you as the generalissimo of Dingbei, controlling Taiyuan, and all the states and counties north of Taiyuan, backing up Captain Yang, and being responsible for the transfer of grain and grass, and supporting Captain Yang to guard the border." ”

After a pause, Li Yan said again: "You will also serve as the Taiyuan Guard, the former Taiyuan Stayer will be the deputy Guard, and after solving the Sudden Awakening, you will return to Beijing, and the Deputy Stayer will be reinstated." ”

Li Chongjiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, he couldn't sleep last night, but he still read some information about Taiyuan, there are about seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, although they are not as elite as the Praetorian Guard, but they can't stand up to many people, if you add the soldiers and horses of the states and counties north of Taiyuan, it is estimated that it will reach 200,000 soon, and the place north of Taiyuan is big, and there are many states and counties!

After Li Chongjiu kowtowed, he stood up, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, he thought that his military power had surpassed Yang Ze, he glanced at Yang Ze proudly, and thought: "You only bring 30,000 soldiers and horses, but I have 200,000, even if your 30,000 soldiers and horses are more elite, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the heroes can't stand the crowd, I have 200,000 people to beat you 30,000, I have to beat you to the thin!" ”

Yang Ze was neither happy nor irritable, but just thought: "In terms of numbers, Li Chongjiu is indeed more than me, he can at least master 200,000 soldiers and horses, but unfortunately, these 200,000 soldiers and horses are scattered in various states and counties, and they can't be used centrally. ”

Li Yan's two wills are just a general idea, and the specific matters must be discussed by the ministers, and then a detailed plan will be formulated, but this has nothing to do with him, the emperor, and he is not interested, he is just concerned about whether he can settle the affairs of Yang Ze and Li Chongjiu.

Li Yan looked at Li Chongjiu, saw his son's smug face, and then looked at Yang Ze, but he was thinking, I don't know what he was thinking, but he didn't act angry, that's it, Li Yan felt that this matter was settled, which could not only allow Li Chongjiu to get exercise, but also let Yang Ze understand that this world still belongs to the Li family, which is enough.

Li fainted and said: "After this matter, everyone Aiqing will make a plan to send troops!" Well, is there anything else, if it's okay, then retreat! ”

said so, but he didn't wait for the ministers to say that something was wrong, so he stood up directly, shook his dragon robe, and went back to the harem.

The ministers knelt to see Li Yan away, and then stood up, hugged the root of the crown prince Li Chongjiu, and began to stammer vigorously, and even some people wanted to recommend their own children and nephews to Li Chongjiu, and wanted the children and nephews to follow Li Chongjiu to get around.

Li Chongjiu was overjoyed, he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect that as soon as he got his military power, it hadn't been half an hour before the ministers changed the direction of the wind and began to pat themselves on the back, which was really unexpected.

Yang Ze looked at Li Chongjiu, who was like a moon in the stars, snorted, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why bother to have a new person but forget the old one?" ”

When Li Chongjiu heard the shout, he was slightly stunned, and thought: "What kind of new person and old person, what is the bastard surnamed Yang talking about?" ”

Yang Ze laughed and said: "Wu Youren is a foreigner now, don't you want to go and see him?" After that, he laughed and left the Golden Palace, without looking back. (To be continued......)
